VIDEO: Behind the scenes footage of Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers choreographing their ‘Rocky’ fight is a gem from the vault

Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed’s fight in Rocky I is one of the most legendary fight scenes in the history of cinema, but it only turned out so well because Carl Weathers and Sylvester Stallone spent countless real hours in the gym planning every detail.

This video gives a behind the scenes look at Stallone and Weathers choreographing the fight, including Stallone getting put on the canvas from a Weathers right. This is a little piece of gold from the vault that’s worth a watch if you’re a Rocky fan. Or if you just like cool stuff.
